increased confidence

common identity

building of trust

sustainable co-operation

Page 7: Fran çois Josserand European Policies Research Centre (EPRC) University of Strathclyde

Lessons learnt Co-operation process

risk of independent sub-projects favouring joint or common working packages working across different national systems

Co-operating focus learning across disciplines building upon commonalities learning from each other and learning together

Learning: from individuals to organisations indirect organisational benefits confidence and capacity building personal levels of co-operation

Integration of the project into everyday work sustainable co-operation channels additionality of trans-national projects

Recommendations Project partners

choosing relevant, strategic projects allocating appropriate time and resources building project ownership within the organisation disseminating and integrating project outcomes

Project leaders building on existing co-operation channels defining clear and shared project objectives establishing a ‘common language’ choosing concrete tasks to ‘learn by doing’ planning all stages of the project cycle

Re-Use of Peat Production Areas Team

Heterogeneity: - professional backgrounds- types of organisation

Pros: scientific and practical perspective Cons: objectives not always overlapping

Co-operation mechanics 1 partner, 1 specific sub-project Results shared in trans-national seminars

Page 12: Fran çois Josserand European Policies Research Centre (EPRC) University of Strathclyde

Re-Use of Peat Production Areas Learning

Trans-national: complementary partners Organisational: senior individuals involved Individual: project management skills

Outcomes Knowledge:exchanged and ’generated’ Dissemination: -stakeholders brought

together-long-term relationships

trans-national added value

11

Page 13: Fran çois Josserand European Policies Research Centre (EPRC) University of Strathclyde

Regional Development Strategies Team

Mixed: different professional backgrounds but similar organisations & interests

Continuity: limit on one-off participants Exchanges facilitated & enriched

Co-operation mechanics Planning: long-term preparation Leadership: ‘democratic’ project management Evaluation: on-going and ‘formative’ process
